Following a Russian drone attack on Ukraine near the Romanian border on January 17th, Romanian airspace was violated. Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled, and subsequent investigations uncovered potential drone impact traces near Plauroo. The Romanian Ministry of Defense condemned the attacks, maintained constant contact with allies, and continues monitoring the situation. The affected area is currently secured pending further investigation.

Following a vote by European interior ministers in Brussels, Bulgaria and Romania will officially join the Schengen Area on January 1, 2025. Austria, previously opposed, dropped its veto after a deal securing increased Bulgarian border security. This decision concludes a long process, with the countries meeting Schengen requirements since 2010 but facing repeated objections from member states. The expansion marks a significant enlargement of the world’s largest free movement zone.

Romania’s recent presidential elections were the target of a significant and aggressive campaign of hybrid warfare from Russia, according to the findings of the country’s Supreme Council for National Security. These attacks weren’t subtle; they were aimed directly at manipulating public opinion and sowing division within Romanian society. The timing of the revelation – after the first round of elections – raises concerns about the potential for influence to have already been exerted.
This wasn’t just some minor attempt at interference; this was a concerted effort targeting the presidential race itself. Social media platforms, notably TikTok, allegedly showed bias favoring a pro-Russian candidate, Călin Georgescu, furthering the suspicion of manipulation.… Continue reading
The news of the police raid on Andrew Tate’s home in Romania, coupled with new allegations involving minors, has sent shockwaves through social media and beyond. As someone who has followed these developments closely, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of unease and disgust at the thought of such heinous crimes being committed, especially involving vulnerable young individuals.
It is disheartening to see someone who was once in the public eye now being embroiled in such disturbing allegations. The idea that individuals like Tate, who may have once held a position of influence, could be involved in such reprehensible acts is truly troubling.… Continue reading
The recent news of US B-52 Bombers landing for the first time ever at the NATO Main Eastern Air Base in Romania has certainly caught the attention of many, including myself. As someone who has a personal connection to military aviation, hearing about these massive aircraft making their debut at this strategic location brings a sense of both awe and intrigue. The B-52 Stratofortress has been a legendary aircraft since its inception in 1955, and seeing these beasts on the move always sparks a sense of wonder.
The implications of this deployment go beyond just a display of military might. It is a clear message to those who seek to challenge the unity and strength of NATO, particularly in the face of recent aggression from Russia.… Continue reading
As a Romanian, the news of Russia warning Romania over building the “largest NATO military base” in Europe is not surprising. Russia has a long history of throwing threats and intimidation tactics towards its neighbors, and Romania is no exception. Despite the constant warnings from Russia, Romania remains resolute in its decision to strengthen its military defenses with the construction of this base.
The irony of Russia’s warnings is not lost on many, as Russia itself has been the instigator of aggression and conflict in the region. From occupation to invasion, Russia has a track record of disregarding the sovereignty of its neighbors.… Continue reading
As I scroll through the internet, I come across a headline that immediately catches my attention – “Romanian Treasure In Moscow: Medvedev Says Romanians Are Not A Nation.” My initial reaction is one of shock and disbelief. How can someone in a position of power make such ignorant and disrespectful remarks about an entire nation of people? It’s appalling and frankly quite embarrassing.
The notion that Romanians are not a nation but merely a “way of life” is not only absurd but also deeply insulting. It is a blatant display of ignorance and arrogance, to dismiss the rich history, culture, and identity of an entire country in such a flippant manner.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the news of Andrew Tate and his brother being detained in Romania over a UK arrest warrant, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The arrogance and audacity displayed by Tate, with his fanboy inadvertently revealing his plans to leave Romania and never come back, are almost comical. It’s ironic how someone who claims to be an alpha male finds themselves in such a predicament not once but twice under different nations’ warrants.
The fan base that Tate has cultivated, filled with individuals who idolize him and defend his every move, is disturbing. The recordings of him making fun of a woman he allegedly raped, her audibly crying, are chilling.… Continue reading
Andrew Tate loses appeal against ruling that stops him leaving Romania
When I first heard about Andrew Tate’s case, I couldn’t help but wonder who this guy was and why his situation was making headlines. It’s astonishing how this relatively unknown individual has become the center of attention. Whether he was a big celebrity before or not, it seems like this case has garnered more attention than his fame ever did.
Now, as the news breaks that Tate has lost his appeal against the ruling that restricts him from leaving Romania, it’s hard not to feel a sense of satisfaction. Here is a man who moved to Romania with the intention of exploiting a corrupt justice system to engage in sex trafficking, and now he finds himself trapped in a country he thought he could manipulate.… Continue reading
